The 22nd Asia-Pacific Retailers Convention & Exhibition (APRCE Tokyo 2026) will be held in Tokyo in October 2026, organized by the Federation of Asia-Pacific Retailers Associations (FAPRA)—which represents 18 countries and regions—in collaboration with the Japan Retailers Association. As a premier international event, APRCE brings together top retail industry leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region. Since its inaugural convention in Tokyo in 1983, the event has been held biennially in various countries and regions, evolving into one of the world’s leading international retail conventions, with a history spanning over 40 years.
The 22nd APRCE, returning to Tokyo for the first time in 19 years, will be held under the theme: "The Future of Retail: Innovation Meets Tradition" The event will feature a conference, where renowned retail executives and industry experts from Japan and around the world will speak, and an exhibition showcasing cutting-edge technologies from Japan and other participating countries and regions. Additionally, networking receptions, business meetings, retail study tours, and other special events will be held to ensure a dynamic and impactful experience for all participants. We anticipate welcoming over 4,000 attendees to the conference and more than 10,000 visitors to the exhibition, both from Japan and abroad. Our goal is to create an environment where retail professionals and stakeholders can exchange knowledge, build connections, and foster business relationships that transcend national borders, industries, and business models.
To ensure the success of APRCE Tokyo 2026, we have established an Executive Committee consisting of top executives from leading businesses and organizations in Japan’s retail industry. With extensive collaboration from key stakeholders, preparations are well underway. The success of APRCE Tokyo 2026 relies on the generous support of our sponsors. We sincerely invite you to consider partnering with us by supporting this prestigious event.
